People saying dating coworkers is inappropriate. I’m not supposed to hit on baristas or exotic dancers? And my friends keep telling me to stop dating their younger sisters and mothers. Any solid ideas?

Get into a community building or charity organization where women your own age are involved. Get into a hobby that has both men and women involved. Ideally an organization that lines up with your authentic ideals. Ideally a hobby that you're authentically excited about.

Don't get disappointed if this takes a while. Most good romantic relationships start with being your authentic self, but also developing an authentic self that embraces similar values to the person you're hoping to meet, which is difficult.

And understand that sometimes you're not going to find a significant other, and if you find yourself in this situation, make your peace with it and don't turn into a misogynist.

EDIT: Didn't realize I was in shitty ask Lemmy...leaving this here anyways, lol.

EDIT: Grammar, spelling.
